Pretty much what I felt. Even the slugs look like the equal of a 9mm at best.

The Dupo shows promise, but nothing else. The Dupo website has videos of that 410 versus 4 layers of denim then 10% gelatin. I wanna say it was at 20 yards. It has petals that fragment off and penetrate 6 inches, while the core penetrated 16 inches. That's a 2.5 inch shell. Not too bad.

The .45 Long Colt with 250-255 grain lead bullets traveling 700-900 fps is more sensible than a silly, ungainly .410 revolver and these so-called specialty loads.

Smith & Wesson introduced the Governor just as the fad seems to have abated somewhat.
